Warren G Joins Ownership Group of New Long Beach Baseball Team

Rapper and hip-hop icon Warren G has joined the ownership group of the new Long Beach Baseball Club, a minor league team set to debut in the 2026 Pioneer Baseball League season. The team aims to play at Blair Field, home of the Long Beach State Dirtbags, and plans to create a game-day experience celebrating Long Beach through music, food, and community events, with possible involvement from local music stars. Warren G, a Long Beach native, sees the venture as a way to give back to his city and foster a positive environment for the next generation, emphasizing baseball's role in bringing people together. The club is currently negotiating with the city and Cal State Long Beach to finalize agreements and is also engaging the community in naming the team, with “Long Beach Regulators” a popular suggestion referencing Warren G's iconic song “Regulate.” Co-founder Paul Freedman praised Warren G for his star power and genuine commitment to the community, aligning with the club's vision of uniting people through baseball. Warren G's personal history with sports in Long Beach and his continued passion for baseball underscore his dedication to this new venture.
